“$h!t! Samuel yelled in anger as he drove the car out of Xavier’s mansion.
everything they own belongs to me!
it belongs to my late daughter
I and Mrs Orlando had met in a shopping complex, many years back and we bonded fast cause we both discovered we are widows having same problem
though she wasn’t poor when I met her, she was living well with her 17 years old son back then while I, my son and my late daughter eat from hand to mouth
I had gone for one of my p@rt time job in the shopping complex when I had sp©t her purse fall from her handbag
I gave the purse back to her and she was grateful
there and then, we bec@m£ very good friends
I got into an import and export business which was very lucrative
as a good friend, I introduced Xavier’s mum into the business six years back and our standard of living eventually improved
I brou-ght an idea of buying an online company which was up for sale and Xavier’s mum tried discouraging me not to purchased it
claiming it might be one of the tricks of con men. and fraudsters to rob business men and women off their money
but I remained adamant cause the company was tagged with a cheap price
she later decided to p@rtake in the buying of the company while I gladly accepted thinking I had a friend
nor knowing I brou-ght in the devil to dine with me
with the help of our savings, we purchased the company and Mrs Orlando decided to keep the the do¢v-ments and every single details pertaining to the company which I suc¢v-mbe-d to cause the nature of her business is similar to it
I brou-ght up the idea of my son running the company along side her son Xavier but she kicked against it
saying its going to bring about
hate, jealously and competition between them and she decided that I swap my son with my daughter so the company will be ours if her son and my daughter, becomes an item and get married
I had wanted us to go seal the deal in court but she refused saying I don’t trust her and all that.
unfortunately, my daughter died in a plane crash and that was when it dawned on me that I invited the devil in without knowing
she had cunningly bought the company in her sons name,I took the case to the court of law but Mrs Orlando bought her way throu-gh and the jurist gave me a legal warning not to trespas-s into the company business again least I would be charge and s£ntenced to jail for fraud and that was how I lost out six years back but right now am re-ady to take back what’s mine even if it means killing her precious son, I will gladly do after all I lost my daughter too
I will show her how ruthless I can be
Samuel swerve the car past a bend before taking one last bend and soon he was horning in front of the large gate of our compound
he parked the car in the parking lot and flounce into the house and I nee-d no one to tell me he’s angry
Ifu-cking hate anything that has to do with thatfu-cking family
I will make sure I bring them down
I am Madison, a woman with the heart of a lion
if I can kill a team of cops in 30minutes with a silent gun, then who’s Mrs Orlando and her introvert son that I can’t kill?
I will make sure I drain them off any single cash on them before wasting their useless lives
I will make sure they taste hell and what it looks like
I will burn them alive

Elsa
“there’s no food Elsa!
your father has not been paid!
we are starving”mother cried out to me and I looked around in pity
why do we have to be poor huh?
there’s never a day we’ve eaten twice a day
it’s often once and that’s if I c@m£ across someone I can steal from
“its okay mother!
I will go out there and come back with food I promise” I said to mum as she sat on the rou-gh floor of our house
mum sh0t me a suspicious look immediately I made that statement
“you promise not to steal again Elsa!
you promise not to go out there and come home with heap of troubles”mum said and I sighed de-eply
that’s the only job here in the slum that doesn’t require certificate, qualifications and all that
the only way we can survive is for me to live the street life and it’s not cool
it’s not something I like doing but I can’t help it
we must eat!!!
dad was once a comfortable man, we lived in the heart of town in luxury and comfort
not until dad got involved in a rou-gh deal with his fellow colleagues or something and he was fired throu-gh a set up or so it seems
we dropped back to square one
am the only child of my parents and we relocated to live in the slums when dad got sacked cause there’s no way he could get a better job
we began living in lack and penury
and I vowed within me to make sure my dad and mum are given the best out of life
even if it means ‘stealing’
I will gladly do it for my parents who go n-ked to clothe me
go hungry to feed me
I will flaunt them to the world by the time I become rich
“Do you have any money with you mother?”I asked and she sh0t me a suspicious look
“yeah!
just a few change”she said and I took some money from her before heading towards the door
“you better don’t waste that money Elsa!
that’s what is left for dinner, so we can eat and eventually think of tomorrow” she said and I wi-nks at her
“scre-w hunger mum!
scre-w poverty!
just count on me mother”I said and she smiled at me as I walked out
“the queen of the street is out!
where are my preys???”

Elsa
“The queen of the street is out
were are my preys?”
I got into the road and scurry to my usual joint
the gambling ring
“hey! Elsa!”Jack and his crew called but I ignored them, moving towards the main ring where the gambling is often being pla-yed
“Boss isn’t here and we can’t possibly pl@ywithout him, it’s against the rules”one of the gamblers said to me and I rolled my eyes
“I know the rules better than you do, so st©p filling my ears with it cause your mouth stinks!”I said and most of the boys pres£nt began giggling
I was the only girl in their midst but I don’t care!
am way stronger than all of them put together
“Elsa can I have a word with you?”I heard a whisper like voice in my ears and turned towards the owner only to see jack and his crew who kept grinning behind him
“what do you want?” I asked icly and he shoved something into my hands
woah!
money!!
yeah this is what I want!
money!!!
” see you later and plea-se re-ad the letter” he said and turned around with his crew
I counted the money and smiled pu-lling out the paper I had found inside
this money will go for over a week for our feedings
there’s definitely no way one can survive in the streets without gambling or stealing
the government never think of those living in the slums and that’s the reason why crime rate keep increasing on a daily basis
lame as-s government and d!¢k headed rulers
the boss c@m£ in and the gambling started immediately
I placed a bet with the money I had took from mother while I shove the one I got from Jack de-ep down into my short pocket
I may be a poor looking girl with tattered clothes but one thing is for sure ‘ Am a neat beauty with br@ins’
you don’t wanna mess with the street queen do you?
“hey you!” I yelled at a rou-gh ugly looking boy who had hid one of the gambling cards on his left palms
that’s how they do cheat in order to win
lame as-s ugly dudes!
“you are out!” another boy yelled immediately he had brou-ght out the cards he had hidden
“you tiny as-s, ugly looking bit-ch!
you just won’t mind your business
pauper!” the boy cussed in anger and I flare up in anger too
he can call me all the names in the world but i won’t seat and watch him call me a pauper
never!
“call me a pauper one last time and watch me twist that ugly looking d!¢k of yours, ma-king it stuck in between your as-s”I rasp and the boy mumbled some few inaudible words
motherfuc-ker!
that’s what they are
I took a glance at the game which was still going on
damn it!
am close to losing out of this game
I can’t lose mother’s money all in the name of gambling
I picked up a card and hid it in my br@ without any of the boys aware of it
bunch of dummies!!
pack the cards together
Elsa won alre-ady” the boss, a skinny looking boy who’s been referred to as ‘the boss’ cause he own the gambling cards, said handing me my money alongside the money the ones who lost out in the game,had placed in the gambling box as usual
i smiled to myself and walked out
“this is a whole lot of money!” I grinned to myself moving out of the gambling shade, down to the road
before pla-ying a gamble, there’s a p@rticular amount of money you must put in the gambling box, before being allowed to pl@ythe gambling game and if any b©dy wins, the person automatically becomes the owner of all the money while the boss will take 10% from the money as the owner of the cards
“won’t you pl@yagain?” the boss asked as I crossed the road to the other side and soon began hearing murmurings from the boys
# A card is missing!
#its not correct!!
#someone cheated!!!
#call Elsa to come back!!!!
# we must search everyb©dy!!!!!
I heard their murmurings and took to my heels before they get hold of me
I st©pped running and continued walking when I felt I had gone far from them
I opened the paper I had found in the money jack had given to me and glance throu-gh it
‘MEET ME AT THE BACK OF THE SECOND ANT HILL’
it re-ads and I scoffed tearing it into shreds
Bastards!!
do I look like a who-re?
he’s lucky I didn’t see this on time, I would have given him the beating of his life
crazy imp!
I caught sight of our house and walked towards it
“Elsa!” mum called on seeing me and I shove my hands into my pocket and gave her all the money I had with me
“that’s it momma!
hurry up and cook something my belly is growling” I said and she g@sp staring at the money in shock
“where did you got all of this from?” she asked and I frowned
“don’t tell me you stole again?” she asked looking angry
“nope!
I didn’t!” I defended
“then where did you got it from?” she asked
“from an admirer!” I said and she g@sp again
“Elsa your giving your b©dy to men for money?” she asked looking disappointed
“mum you know I won’t do that, just go prepare something!” I said and dash out of the house off to the streets

Madison
I c@m£ out of my car including one of my guards I had brou-ght along with me, while the driver was on the wheel
I placed my hand bag on t©p of my car while the guard stood close to me
the environment look inconducive
rou-gh and dirty
the roads were unkempt
“damn it!’ I muttered
how do people live here?
I can’t stay even a day here!
“hope their jobs are clean and without trace?” I asked and my guard nodded
“yes ma
they are the best and would soon be here!”he replied and I nodded
just then a pretty face girl walked past and cleverly got a hold of my bag
she took to her heels immediately and I watched in shock and in surprise
“she stole your bag ma!” my guard said and made to go after her but I held him back
“there’s a slight change of plans Ted!
I think have seen what I want” I said and a smile broke on my face
“go after her but don’t hurt her!!”I ordered and he nodded
